Cracked iPhone

While those people who are stuck with an iPhone 1.1.2 are whining about the fact they can't unlock it ... I sadly have to announce my iPhone was cracked for the second time. It still works perfectly, but looks kind-of 'roughed up' ... weep ...

Tip, don't drop your iphone with the screen flat on the ground.

Larry Lessig on Consumer Generated Content

My daughter's Wii (...) is proving to be an interesting addition to our home entertainment suite. The Opera browser works pretty good with YouTube and I've been watching a number of TED video's. Most are really great, but Larry Lessig's expose on creativity and law is enlightening and helpful when discussing copyright issues in the 21st century:

I particularly like the part where he points out two extremes that are feeding one-another. On one hand the 'government' (or are it media companies?) keep on pushing rules, laws and technologies that prevent creativity, and on the other hand upcoming generation (the participation generation) have a tendency to break copyright laws by default. Both are wrong, and we need a way in the middle.
